Answer:
- WX =
- XY =
- WY =
- Classify: Isosceles
============================================================
Explanation:
Apply the distance formula to find the length of segment WX
W = (x1,y1) = (-10,4)
X = (x2,y2) = (-3, -1)
Segment WX is exactly units long which approximates to roughly 8.6023253
-------------------
Now let's find the length of segment XY
X = (x1,y1) = (-3, -1)
Y = (x2,y2) = (-5, 11)
Segment XY is exactly units long which approximates to 12.1655251
-------------------
Lastly, let's find the length of segment WY
W = (x1,y1) = (-10,4)
Y = (x2,y2) = (-5, 11)
We see that segment WY is the same length as WX.
Because we have exactly two sides of the same length, this means triangle WXY is isosceles.
